Title: Westbury Station Car Park extension Post by: bobm on March 15, 2019, 17:48:42 The extended car park at Westbury Station was officially opened this afternoon.
It now boasts just over 150 spaces and since being brought into use a few weeks ago is already being well used. (http://www.mbob.co.uk/rforum/wsbpark.jpg) The opening ceremony was carried out by Matthew Golton (Deputy MD - GWR) and Horace Prickett (Portfolio Holder for Transport - Wiltshire Council)accompanied by representatives from local rail groups and Square Bay, the developers of the nearby housing development who helped to fund the work. (http://www.mbob.co.uk/rforum/wsbpark2.jpg) Apparently, and I didn't know this, around 90 percent of the current users park their car at the station on Monday morning and leave them there until Friday night (http://www.mbob.co.uk/rforum/wsbpark3.jpg) Just one pedantic point, which always annoys me, 23:59pm?

Also incredibly unhelpful, seeing as the last train back from Bristol arrives at 0008.

Same here if you pay by phone, but not if you pay at the machine!

It doesn't say that on the sign it just says it on the email/text confirmation or on the App!

I'm sure that is how Capt Mainwaring would have said it..................
